I have always liked all my computers to play the same two specific "sounds" .. one when logging-on to Windows and another when logging-off.

I had my Win95 machine, my Win98 machine and my WinXP all doing this without any problem simply by by transferring the sound files to each machine, putting the files in the appropriate place and then using "Sound" via "Control Panel" to link them to log-on and log-off.

[I no longer have a Win95 machine but my Win98 and WinXP do still use them.]

Well, now i'm trying to get my Win7 machine to do it also but although I can change the logging-on sound in Win7 to the one I want, I can't change the logging-off one

Most of the wave files are located in C:\Windows\Media - create a folder under Media and copy your wave files there.

To select them, Right Click the desktop and select Personalize - type Sound in the search box (look for Change System Sounds). Peruse to the sound you want to change and press the Browse button... point to the folder you created above.

Mad, using either Sounds in Control Panel or right clicking on your desktop, you should still be able to change any sound you want.

When I right click on my desktop and chose Personalize, I'm taken to another window. In this window I can set Themes, sound, screen saver, and others things I can't remember at the moment.

At the bottom of this window are some icons, one which is sound. Left clicking on this one takes me to the Sound window where if I scroll down to Window Login or Window Logoff, I can select either and change the sounds. Left click one to highlight it, then go up towards the top and click the down arrow to choose the sound you want. If you don't find the right .wav file, then at the bottom you can browse to locate the file.

If you use Control Panel to access Sounds, once you open Sounds, click on the Sound tab and you're at the same Sound window. The procedure is the same as I described above. Once you find the .wav file you want, you can test it by clicking on the Test button, click on Apply and you're set.
